From the publisher: "Lanterns...beacons of illumination in the Darkness, casting knowledge upon the ignorant. Each of the 27 chapters housed in Lanterns of Wisdom from the Firmament illustrates a unique sentiment, each Lantern revealing a unique face of Gnosis. At once beautiful and blasphemous, stacking meaning upon meaning, Lanterns is a fountain of eternal revelation; Lanterns is the holy scripture of a Luciferian's faith."
